Phra Phutthamongkol Maharat (GPS: 7.04081, 100.51081) is a Buddhist temple park overlooking Hatyai, Thailand. It is located to the northeast of downtown Hatyai. The main attraction of the park is the colossal standing Buddha. In addition, there is also a shrine to the Four-Faced Buddha. This is a Thai version of the Hindu shrine venerating the Hindu deity Brahma.
Within the park are numerous statues of elephants which were placed there by devotees. I am not sure of the significance, but I believe the elephants were placed by devotees seeking vigor and strength.
